18 Comments

More Pokemon have been revealed for the upcoming Sun and Moon, and some of them may cause you to raise an eyebrow. There's a boxing crab with a black eye, a weird bear with paper coming out of its behind, and two sand castles.

The Pokemon Company released a video, showing off the new Pokemon and their abilities. The first is Crabrawler, a Fighting type that has the Hyper Cutter and Iron Fist abilities. It's described as "a Boxing Pokemon that really hates to lose" and "can be found clinging to buildings with its powerful pincers that also pack a powerful punch, or gathering around trees in search of Berries, its favorite food."

The second revealed Pokemon is Sandygast, a pile of sand with a dang shovel in its head. Yes, I'm completely serious. It's a Ghost/Ground-type Pokemon that utilizes the Water Compaction ability. It evolves into a proper sand castle called Pallossand, which is also a Ghost/Ground type. These may sound like dumb Pokemon, but their descriptions are pure nightmare fuel. Sandygast appears when "the grudges of fallen Pokemon soak into the sand after battle, and its tunnel-like mouth can suck the vitality from people and Pokemon." Palossand draws unsuspecting Pokemon into its body with a sand vortex and sucks their life force dry.

The last Pokemon revealed is Stufful, the first form of Bewear, the bear with the lethal hugs. It's a Normal/Fighting type that uses the Fluffy and Klutz abilities. It's described as small with extraordinary strength, and unlike its hug-loving evolution, it "dislikes being touched and will flail its arms in protest." For some reason, it has what appears to be a piece of paper protruding from its rear. You can see all of the new Pokemon in the video at the top of this article.
